Hi

Perhaps you could use the RecordsAffected property of the Execute method!?

Just a more-or-less unrelated comment. It looks as though this code will fail if you hit a name containing an apostrophe. For example, "O'Reilly". You might want to have a look at the index of tips and tricks in the Access forum. I believe it contains an entry which talks about string delimiters, including this sort of pitfall.

Hi -

What are you trying to do in this code?

rs!empnamee = Trim(Text1.Text)

I guess, this should be

Text1.Text = Trim(rs!empnamee)

As per your problem, all you have to do is to search first the record. Then, if you find it, issue a delete command.

con.Execute "Select * from paymentemployacc where empnamee='" & Trim(Text1.Text) & "'"
If not <Recordset variable>.EOF then
        RecordFound = True
Else
       RecordFound = False
End if
If RecordFound = True then 
    con.Execute "delete from paymentemployacc where empnamee='" & Trim   (Text1.Text) & "'"
    MsgBox "Employ deleted"
Else
    Msgbox "No record found!"
End if
